Challenges for the future

• increasing freight volume

 CO2 emissions

• bottlenecks in infrastructure
• limited road capacity
• public and political pressure

Transport accounts for 20.3 %

• f worldwide CO2 emissions!

Need to increase the use of eco- friendly transport modes

Low utilization rate & sustainability High potential for inland waterway

Inland Waterways & the European Transport Strategy

The European Commission aims to promote and strengthen the competitive position of inland waterways in the transport system, and to facilitate its integration into the intermodal logistics chain

Political support & harmonization

• (e.g. port of Rotterdam)

Infrastructure

• modernization of the fleet, locks and

ports

• maintainance of the waterway

Sustainability

• alternative fuel (e.g. LNG Masterplan)
• more efficient navigation (fuel-saving)

Need for cooperation & data sharing

• River Information Services(RIS),

digitalization

• e.g. DoRIS

Lack of awareness & training in logistics sector

• (e.g. REWWay)

Differences between Baltic Sea, Rhine & Danube Region

Strategy Paper for Inland Waterway Transport

• initiated by Mr. Bodewig & BSF

The aim of the strategy paper for inland waterway transport is to strenghten this mode of transport in the European Union by

• Involving relevant stakeholders and experts form the sector
• Identifying gaps and measures

to provide input for the national and European Transport policy.

Ongoing Projects for Inland Waterway Transport

EMMA Project (funded by Interreg)

• 21 Partners in the Baltic Sea Region (DE, FI, LT, PL and SE)
• aims at tackling the challenges and opportunities focusing on inland- and river-sea

shipping.

• increasing the modal share
• fostering a better integration in the BSR transport chains
• the EU Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region

Prominent Project (H2020) Daphne Project, Danube Skills Project, Dante Project, Green Danube Project (Interreg Projects)
